21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but won gamely off 5lb lower here (2m4f, good) in April and his recent C&D second was also a good effort; could have a say. |

2nd 6 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Game winner here (2m4f; from 2lb lower) in April; excuse next time (saddle slipped) but less competitive at Kelso (2m5f, good; fifth, beaten 10l) a fortnight ago; needs to bounce back against rivals with a fair amount of upside. |

Ended a run of rather disappointing efforts when scoring at Hexham last month (2m4f, good) and better than he showed last time as his saddle slipped on home turn; interesting. |

Maiden hurdle winner earlier this year has been mixing this sphere with chasing and on the Flat since, running mostly well in defeat; fell just short once again on his handicap debut at Punchestown last month; up another 2lb but a leading contender. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |

Has the form to feature off this mark but in two runs for this yard he's been tailed off over hurdles and pulled up on chase debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts over hurdles for the Newland-Insole stable; sold for 18,000gns last spring; may have needed his reappearance run here in October but he now returns after another break and this is a tough assignment on his chase debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Back to form with close third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May; however, only seventh of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time on ground he should have handled; can be slowly away; others preferred. |
33/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |

Failed to figure from the widest draw behind Respond at Chester (went well there previously) on reappearance but a close third of six when favourite at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; with a good soft-ground record too, he could be a major player. |

Didn't really progress in his three bumpers and was tailed off at 40-1 on hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good) last month; this stiffer stamina test could suit on pedigree but he needs to leave that latest form well behind. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Bits of low-level form for Chris Grant and she managed third of eight in a maiden at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) 15 days ago on debut for new yard, albeit 29l behind the runner-up; tried cheekpieces/visor on last two starts; not entirely dismissed in this weak handicap. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Did not make the frame in seven starts under rules for Chris Grant; first-time cheekpieces saw no improvement when eighth of 12 finishers at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and subsequently sold for £1,000; first-time visor is now applied on stable debut but she is hard to fancy. |
50/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Unexposed after only five hurdling starts and ran well for a long way when fifth (behind Killybegs Jet Lady) at Cartmel (2m6f, soft) last month; not out of this if combination of better ground and new cheekpieces helps. |

Won off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle in March (2m4f, good to soft); fair run when fourth stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time; each-way chance. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, but ran poorly when dropped back to 2m last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him on first attempt at 3m under rules. |

Came good over hurdles at 14th attempt, with clear success at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March; should be okay back at 2m on this stiff track but 7lb rise demands more from him. |

Went chasing last summer and he's won four times from 3m to 3m2f; now high in the ratings but still ran very well from the front at Carlisle last month (3m); unproven over this far and he does race up with the pace. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Made very good progress in second half of last year, with the last two of his four wins gained over C&D (soft; also suited by good); returned from ten-week break with very respectable effort in 0-130 grade at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and might still be on the upgrade. |
